Additionally, it can be used in electronic circuits and for automotive applications. This fuse is also suitable for use in communication systems, UPS, and other sensitive electronic systems.
Features of 0447004.YP
The 0447004.YP has a current rating of 15A-200A and a voltage rating of up to 500V. The fuse is available in a variety of sizes and come with either an intermediate blow or with an instantaneous action. This allows it to be used for a range of applications from general purpose protection of small circuits to more sensitive protection of the power stage. The fuse is UL152 approved and meets SAE J553 standards. Additionally, it has a wide operating temperature range from -35°C to 125°C making it suitable for a variety of environments. The 0447004.YP has a good arc extinguishing capability and is resistant to shock, vibration, and moisture.
Working Principle of 0447004.YP
The 0447004.YP is a thermal-magnetic fuse. It works by melting of the metal wire element when the current in the circuit exceeds the rated current of the fuse. When this occurs, the metal wire heats up due to the resistance caused by the current and eventually melts, creating an open circuit and breaking the power supply. The fuse also has a magnetic element that helps accelerate the melting process and ensures that the fuse trips quickly in the event of an overcurrent.
Conclusion
The 0447004.YP is a thermal-magnetic fuse and is suitable for a variety of applications from the protection of small circuits to the protection of power stages. It has a current rating of 15A-200A and is UL152 approved. Additionally, it is resistant to shock, vibration, and moisture, has a wide operating temperature range, and is suitable for a variety of environments. The fuse works by melting of the metal wire element when the current in the circuit exceeds the rated current of the fuse.
